Affected TeachingThis verse has been corrupted in two places. The first place is where the modern
versions omit the word “if,” turning the question into a declarative statement.
(John 19:21 KJV) Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write
not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. The
Jews did not see Jesus as the King of the Jews and for those at the cross to
make a declaration that He was King of the Jews does not fit the context of this
verse nor the mindset of those who had Him crucified. Then the second place
where there is corruption is where the modern versions change “him” into “in
him.” This verse is not a question of salvation but it is a question of “if
Jesus comes down from the cross, then we will believe Him that He is the Son of
God.” The modern versions turn this into a works salvation that if Jesus does a
miracle by coming down from the cross and saving Himself, then those who are
present will claim to be saved by believing in Him. No one is saved in that
manner and those at the crucifixion did not have salvation on their mind, it was
the last thing they would have thought of.
